Yes.

look for some memory that uses the samsung tccd chips, brand specific doesnt really matter, theres a few manufacturers that make them.(ocz, corsair, g-skill). thats my opinion.

I've been using the GSkillz PC4400 with my A8N. No problems up until I hit 215MHz. I'm guessing that my issues @ 215 are due to user BIOS settings though (RAM timing etc). Don't have the model # of the RAM in front of me...

I have read good reviews about OCZ and G.Skill in this Asus.

What you are really asking is, "What memory are you using in your A8N." Obviously, everyone is going to boast that they've made the best decision with their memory selection. So, why don't you just do this: Determine what you prefer, price or performance. Generally, the faster the memory, the higher the price. Then, there are bells and whistles to consider, such as flashing LED lights and all that crazy mess.

I've been looking at the OCZ 1GB EL DDR400 Platinum Revision 2, but can't find it anywhere at a decent price or from a reputable dealer. Anyone?


best,

CORRECTION: Above is not Rev 2. You're right. No one has Rev 2 in stock at a decent price.

Monarch has it for $289 but is out of stock with an ETA of Feb 21. But, don't count on those ETAs

I got my OCZ El Patinum Rev.2 from newegg and im at ddr 550 1T currently, on my DFI Ultra-D that is. I had the A8N-SLI Deluxe and was able to get to 490 ddr at 1T max. On my current board ive gon ua far as 310fsb(ddr 620 at 1T).......this is without a doubt the best memory ive ever had, and i also hear that Samsung is taking TCCD memory off the market because of high manufactering costs.......so while youll be fine for AWHILE.....i wouldnt wait too long. Newegg has em, they are pretty reputable.

Wow......i tried looking for my memory in stores and i couldnt find it anywhere. Ive read a whole bunch of stuff saying that Samsung is gonna stop producing TCCD chips. I dont know when , how, or if.....but i do know id get em quick.

If you're looking for stuff like Samsung TCCD quality, I'd say the best values are Mushkin (I saw it for $223 for 2x512MB at newegg) and Crucial Ballistix ($230 @ newegg for either PC3200 or PC4000). All of the rest are good, too, like Corsair, OCZ, PQI, Geil, etc, I just haven't seen them for sub- $250. Also, Crucial Ballistix are not TCCD, they are micron, but for some reason they work great on the A64 platform. There is a review on anandtech comparing them to other memory, and they seem to consistently have very tight timings at very high frequencies. Mine are in 2T because my bios is having problems running at 1T, but supposedly they can keep 1T timings up to very high speeds.
